Growing up with a dog in Nuuk, Naja is well-acquainted with working with dogs both indoors and outdoors, incorporating them into their lifestyle.

In 2022, Naja successfully completed her training as an Arctic Adventure Guide, which took place in Kangerlussuaq and Qaqortoq. This comprehensive training equipped her with the necessary skills and knowledge to guide and engage with adventure tourists in the Arctic region.

Steve Broberg

Co-founder – Musher

Meet Steve.

Steve was born and raised in Qeqertarsuaq. Since childhood, he has always been close to nature. He knows Qeqertarsuaq and its secrets inside out.

 

He has spent many hours in nature, both day and night, from walks to overnight stays. When he’s in nature, he’s rarely alone. Often, he’s either with his family or with dogs.

 

Throughout Steve’s upbringing, he has always been among dogs, from the family’s dogs to his own. For several years, Steve has been mushing sled dogs and has had his own team of dogs for almost 10 years now. When you have as many dogs as he does, you need to provide food for them. Therefore, Steve has also spent a lot of time sailing. It could be for hunting, fishing, or just sailing from point A to B in general. This also includes sailing to other towns.

Qeqertarsuaq, Disko Island

About Qeqertarsuaq

Welcome to Qeqertarsuaq, a town located on the majestic Disko Island, Greenland’s largest island. Founded as the whaling station Godhavn in 1773. Qeqertarsuaq quickly became known as the “capital” of North Greenland during the colonial era and the center of whaling due to the abundance of whales in the area.

Today, about 800 people live in Qeqertarsuaq, with an additional 4 residents in the nearby settlement of Kangerluk. The town is surrounded by the unique landscape of Disko Island, characterized by its volcanic past, which has created high basalt cliffs, hot springs, and lush valleys. The island is geologically young, formed by magma eruptions 50-60 million years ago, giving it a unique geology compared to the rest of Greenland.

Disko Island also has its own ice cap with impressive glaciers located in the high, inaccessible interior. With 267 vascular plants and a rich plant and animal life, the island is a biological hotspot. The area contains 70% of West Greenland’s plants and more than half of all Greenland’s plants. The island’s location between high Arctic and low Arctic climates gives it a unique biodiversity, where hot springs on the southern coast create an ideal habitat for species with southern distribution.

The sea around Disko Island is rich in wildlife, from large whales such as fin whales and Bowhead whales to small invertebrates found abundantly in plankton and cold deep-sea sediments.

Come and experience Qeqertarsuaq, a town full of history, natural beauty, and unique experiences!
